Slayers	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Slayers (originally marketed as The Slayers in the U.S.) started as a serialized novel by Hajime Kanzaka in the Japanese Dragon Magazine (no relation to the American one of the same name). Originally it was supposed to follow the adventures of the Cephied Knight, a champion for good named Luna Inverse. However, when filling out her background, the writer found her little sister Lina far more interesting.A series of sword-and-sorcery light novels with equal parts comedy and drama that was adapted into an anime series. Has five TV seasons (Slayers, Slayers NEXT, Slayers TRY, Slayers Revolution and Slayers Evolution-R), six OVAs, five movies, six video games and a whole lot of manga made. Became extremely popular in the West, in part because of its quirk of having a female as the lead in a Shonen series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Lina Inverse is a young and very powerful sorceress. She wanders the world looking for treasure to steal and magic to learn. Unfortunately (from her point of view), she tends to end up in situations where she's got to save the world instead of just make a fast buck. She will attempt to wring money out of most situations, such as once extorting gold from a town that was actively being ravaged by a dragon. She's also got an amazing temper, having destroyed both the dragon and the town she was protecting with one spell because the dragon embarrassed her by not stepping on her. She still expected to get paid, too. She has earned the titles "Bandit Slayer" (it's not stealing if they've already stolen it!), "Dragon Spooker", and "Enemy Of All That Live" in a few short years.Much to Lina's chagrin, she ends up with a group of people following her around, usually because they're all trying not to get killed by something. In the OVAs, set before the TV show, this is the deranged sorceress Naga, who believes Lina is following her around as her rival. In the TV series, this is the dumb-as-a-jellyfish swordsman Gourry Gabriev, the justice-obsessed princess Amelia, the taciturn chimera Zelgadis, the self-proclaimed "mysterious priest" Xellos, and occasionally the shrine maiden Sylphiel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })She eventually comes to like them, and is beginning to fall for Gourry by the end of NEXT. She'll deny it if asked, and insists she's only after Gourry's sword.The series alternates between serious fights and quests to save the world, and silly slapstick humor. There is one Cross Dressing episode per season, and they will sometimes take breaks in the middle of serious story arcs or fights for semi-plot-related silliness. It manages to find a nice balance, and is one of the must-see series for Standard Fantasy Setting.This show has all five seasons up legally on Hulu and Funimation, and after the merger, Crunchyroll, (though they can't stream these outside the US), in both English audio and subtitles. They are currently available on DVD. Tokyopop's English translations of the first eight novels are out of print, but still relatively easy to find used. In July 2020, J-Novel Club announced their intentions to localize all the novels from the beginning, including the ones Tokyopop didn't touch.On May 16th, 2019, Dragon magazine officially announced that Hajime Kanzaka is starting work on another arc of the series. This was following the release of a new mainline novel in 2018, 18 years since the last one.Not to be confused with the band Slayer, Goblin Slayer, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Has a Character Sheet and a Recap page.Compare it to Record of Lodoss War if only because of the quip that Lodoss is what Dungeons & Dragons GMs wish their campaigns were like, and Slayers is more like they really are.

There's even a color splash page of him removing it. Later artwork of Lina, namely in later Slayers Special/Slayers Smash. They feature her in more sensual poses, and every other drawing of her flaunts her nipples, irregardless of how modest she's dressed.

Slayers / int_1439161f	type	Heroic BSoD
Slayers / int_1439161f	comment	Heroic BSoD: Several. Slayers NEXT: Lina's begins when she learns the true nature of the Giga Slave: drawing power from The Lord of Nightmares is the exact same thing as summoning Her directly, and miscasting it can cause the entire universe to be consumed, making her friends die horrible deaths. Cue her being in a conundrum on how to defeat Chaos Dragon Gaav. It gets worse when Hellmaster Phibrizzo reveals himself and kidnaps and brainwashes Gourry, just as she began to realize she was falling for him as he did for her. She is able to snap out of her funk, but The Stinger culminates when she casts the Giga Slave during the finale anyway. Same season above: Amelia has a brief one when Gaav gives her a Hannibal Lecture about her feeble notions of justice; he then proceeds to brutally wound her. Milgazia is able to heal her, but the screen of death comes back when Gaav tries to attack her again and the normally Nigh-Invulnerable Zelgadis is severely wounded for the first time protecting her from his blade. Pure horror for her and the viewers. Finally, Evolution-R has both Pokota and Zelgadis in the same episode: Rezo, with his soul trapped in a jar, explains that he only helped and sealed away the people of Pokota's kingdom in order to experiment in gaining his sight back, and that he never intended to follow through with helping them. The normally cocky Pokota cries and loses it. Zelgadis loses it big when Rezo confesses that it is impossible for Zelgadis to ever become human again, and he might've known that it wasn't possible. Cue a crying Zelgadis to nearly go berserk until Pokota intervenes.

His entire family screwed itself over in who would possess the Sword of Light, and it's implied that most of his immediate family is dead because of it. The Seirune royal family is almost just as bad, as there seems to be a lot of conniving and backstabbing over the throne. Prince Phil has faced two assassination attempts now, one by his own brother and the other by his nephew! Lina is REALLY scared of her older sister, Luna, implying she may be the strongest character in that universe.

Slayers / int_17ce80aa	comment	Every magic spell. Justified in non-anime material — mastery of magic in the Slayers setting is accomplished by skill with "Chaos Words", the incantations. The more powerful a sorcerer is, the less words they need; simply invoking the name is all the good wizards actually need to cast a spell. And if they use more Chaos Words than they actually need, the power of the spell is amplified further. This also means that only the very best wizards in the world can actually cast a spell without even speaking its name.

Therefore, she abandoned her regulation pants for a very-mini-skirt, so she would be used to that sort of exposure when the time came. Word Of God states that Naga found her Iconic Outfit in their mother's closet after her funeral.

She's usually convinced her group are the good guys, even when they're clearly only in it to turn a profit, and often marks others as villains simply because they oppose her. In one episode, she can't decide which side are the heroes: either Lina, or a pair of bounty hunters out to arrest her. Confused about who to help, she sits on the sidelines of the battle agonizing over it until she has an epiphany: "Of course! Justice always triumphs! So whoever loses will be the bad guy!" She then attacks BOTH groups at once, figuring whoever crawls out of the rubble was the hero.

Just as Martina turns the target sights on Lina and her friends, the golem malfunctions and breaks down. Lina points out that the golem had been in storage for centuries, so it eroded from lack of maintenance.

Later in the prequel series before Lina meets Gourry, her companion was Naga the Serpent, an arrogant and Stripperiffic sorcerer with a chest even bigger than Sylphiel (and she doesn't doubt to show it to Lina) that usually antagonizes her, seeing Lina as The Rival, despite the fact both travel and work together.

Technically, Rezo was killed by Shabranigdo, who had been possessing him up until then, and emerged when he was summoned (Rezo not knowing the demon was sealed inside of him). Then Lina killed Shabranigdo. So maybe Lina sort of killed Rezo, From a Certain Point of View. In TRY, Valgaav has a vendetta against Lina for allegedly killing his master Gaav. This one makes even less sense, since Gaav was killed by Hellmaster, not Lina.

In short, the backstory of the setting is that the peninsula where the story mostly takes place was the sight of a great battle against the Mazoku long ago, a war that drew magically gifted individuals from all over the continent; when the war ended, one of the Demon Lords And Arch Devils, Hellmaster Phibrizzo, cast a spell that sealed the entire peninsula away from the outside world. As a result, magic remained strong, even flourished inside the barrier, but outside magical skill and lore was lost, forcing them to turn to technology instead. This causes an issue when the gunner Jillas appears in TRY, as he seemingly uses muskets, but all of their bullets are non-fatal.

She was already running on Unstoppable Rage when Martina taunts Lina about her flat chest, prompting Lina to enter the brass racket tournament in order to take Martina down for the insult. In the final match between Lina and Martina, Lina discovers to her shock that her racket was replaced by a fake (courtesy of Xellos), which prevented her from hitting the magic-induced ball back and therefor suffered from many cheap shots from Martina. Once Lina gets her racket back, she goes into this trope, taking on an eerily calm and hollow expression while glowing red. Lina proceeds to serve out highly destructive serves at a now terrified Martina while still having an expressionless look, determined to nail the arrogant princess with all the rage she has accumulated. The one that hits destroyed the entire stadium.

Official Couples Lina/Gourry and Zelgadis/Amelia are a product of the anime. He later admitted that, although he hadn't planned on romance, Lina and Gourry wound up developing feelings for each other anyway. In fact, at the end of the original novels, Lina thinks Gourry wants to propose to her (and becomes disappointed when it seems like it's not the case) after he asks her if they can visit her parents. When the novels were re-released in Japan, the final volume also features new art that has Lina and Gourry wearing matching bracelets. The Amelia/Zelgadis pairing on the other hand was wholly unintentional by the author, but later artwork by Rui Araizumi features the two together in mildly romantic situations.

While the second arc of the main novels was like this, the first arc is one long narrative. The series as a whole began as a self-aware parody of High Fantasy and various Tabletop RPG tropes, albeit with a dogma of its own - the novels and manga, for example, poke fun at various stereotypes, like greasy, dumb bandits, and the anime broke the fourth wall quite a bit. As Cerebus Syndrome kicked in, moreso in the anime, the self-awareness angle was dropped, and the fourth wall was no longer addressed. In the older anime series, the characters were far more cooperative than they were later on. Also, one nice novelty from older episodes that were dropped later on was that new magic or world-related trivia were given an explanation for the viewer; new seasons dropped this.

And to make matters squicky, the captain licks his lips after doing so. It accumulates even further when, at the end of the episode, it's revealed that Zel himself resembles the captain's late wife...

She begins by pounding on Lina's chest, then doing compressions and Mouth-to-Mouth. When Lina regains her color, Sylphiel applies a healing spell. Conceivably justified in that any brain-damage from Lina's heart stopping or broken ribs from CPR might have been healed by Sylphiel's white magic. It's worth noting that Sylphiel's spell also seemed to replenish the gallons of blood that Lina seemed to have lost when she was struck. Done for laughs when Zelgadis gets waterlogged, Amelia suggests doing this to him to revive him. Audible heartbeats sound, implying Amelia was about to do mouth to mouth with Zelgadis. Unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, the chef Ashford gives it to him, making him give out a muffled scream.

Slayers / int_5c3626bd	comment	Magic and Powers: Black Magic: Referred to by that name, this is magic that draws from the Mazoku. Spells of this kind range from attack magic to summoning to curses, like the kinds that Martina uses. White Magic: Also titled that way, most of these are healing and defensive spells, but can also be used for small things like putting out fires. Its source is ambiguous, but Word Of God has stated that it has similarities to Astral Shamanistic magic. Shamanistic Magic: Elemental magic, consisting of the classic elements of Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind, along with a fifth element, Astral magic. Attack spells for the four elements are physical in nature, while Astral magic consists of unconventional spells and attacks that target one's astral body (similar to one's "spirit" or soul). The Ra Tilt spell is the most well-known example for the latter. Holy Magic: The polar opposite of Black Magic, drawing from the Shinzoku. Because of the barrier that covers the peninsula where the story takes place, Shinzoku are unable to either go in or escape, so Holy Magic is not accessible to humans during the course of the series. Golden Dragons are the main practitioners of this form of magic. There is also a form of Wild Magic that draws from the creator, the Lord of Nightmares. Due to its chaotic nature (as the Lord of Nightmares is Chaos itself), almost no one knows about it, and devastating results can happen if it is misused. Lina is the only one known to wield this form of magic.

Slayers / int_5fcedca	comment	Big Eater: Part of the world's background details is that magic burns up calories when cast and so mages need to eat more than usual. It's most prominently exemplified by Lina, mainly because she is a very powerful sorceress and casts potent spells at the slightest excuse. Gourry, despite (or perhaps because of) being a Badass Normal, regularly eats just as much as she does. Amelia also frequently eats just like Lina does when travelling with her, partially for the same reasons as Lina, partially for the funny in seeing a princess wolfing down tons of food like an animal. Zelgadis, on the other hand, is rarely seen eating and certainly not in the same fevered manner, possibly because of his chimera nature. Filia the dragon priestess is seen gulping down an entire cauldron's worth of hotpot as a once off gag about halfway through the ''TRY'' season.

Slayers / int_6bcfbc7e	type	Fantasy Gun Control
Slayers / int_6bcfbc7e	comment	Fantasy Gun Control: Played straight and justified, sort of. In short, the backstory of the setting is that the peninsula where the story mostly takes place was the sight of a great battle against the Mazoku long ago, a war that drew magically gifted individuals from all over the continent; when the war ended, one of the Demon Lords And Arch Devils, Hellmaster Phibrizzo, cast a spell that sealed the entire peninsula away from the outside world. As a result, magic remained strong, even flourished inside the barrier, but outside magical skill and lore was lost, forcing them to turn to technology instead. This causes an issue when the gunner Jillas appears in TRY, as he seemingly uses muskets, but all of their bullets are non-fatal. The beginning of Revolution shows that Outer World technology is at least being exported to the Old, as a ship in the first episode and Saillune's army in the twelfth both use cannons.

Slayers / int_71bd62b9	type	Calling Your Attacks
Slayers / int_71bd62b9	comment	Calling Your Attacks: Every magic spell. Justified in non-anime material — mastery of magic in the Slayers setting is accomplished by skill with "Chaos Words", the incantations. The more powerful a sorcerer is, the less words they need; simply invoking the name is all the good wizards actually need to cast a spell. And if they use more Chaos Words than they actually need, the power of the spell is amplified further. This also means that only the very best wizards in the world can actually cast a spell without even speaking its name. Also exploited: Lina once called Fireball, causing her opponents to flee in terror, but cast only a simple Light spell. Amelia's dad Phil also likes doing this ("Pacifist Crush!", "Kindness to All Creatures Kick!", "Good Will Towards Men Smash!", "Joyful Reunion Bearhug!", "Benevolent Giant Swing!", "Brothers Unite Hand Slap!").

Finally, he, Amelia, and Xellos are bussed off when the first arc of novels ended; Luke and Milina replace the former two, and Xellos doesn't reappear until the final novel. Sylphiel is put on a bus after NEXT and is only mentioned once in TRY; Filia replaces her for that season. Sylphiel does return at the end of Revolution. Zangulus and Martina are also sent off when NEXT ends. Finally, Filia herself is bussed once TRY is over, and any other characters exclusive to that season (Jillas, Valgaav, the "Overworld" inhabitants) go with her. None of them are ever mentioned again — unless one counts the reference to "Jillas cannons" in Revolution.

Because black magic in this setting draws on the power of various Mazoku, there's a bit of a hierarchy to its spells; they can't harm a being of equal or greater rank than their source, so to fight a Mazoku with black magic you need to draw on one of its superiors. Lina can generally get around this since the Dragon Slave calls on their king and progenitor. This is also what makes the Giga Slave and Ragna Blade so powerful. Their source, the Lord of Nightmares, is an embodiment of primordial chaos responsible for creating the known multiverse. Good luck finding a bigger fish than that.

They do consider it something of an improvement at least, as they now also find each other physically attractive.

A ghost possessing Lina's body comes on to Gourry in one of the early episodes of the first season.

When they wake up, neither of them seems to remember in the slightest what happened. In the latter, after being placed under the Octopese Curse, Gourry tells Lina "I love you" at several points — but Octopese is basically saying lots of random words that have an entirely different meaning for octopi ("flatchested", for example, is an expression of great dismay). When things clear up, Lina asks Gourry what "I love you" means in Octopese. "I'm broke, so you'll have to pay for the hotel." This revelation causes Lina to explode, angrily chase Gourry across the beach and beat him senseless.

When a powerful Mazoku gets the bright idea to use her power for his particular purpose (destroying the world), she just blasts him into nothingness. After making world-destroyers and world-protectors, she's mostly absent, but sometimes meddles anyway. If she has an agenda besides just sitting back and watching what happens, we never find out what it is.

And in the third season of the anime, Lina is chosen by Filia to take on Dark Star Dugradigdu; it is revealed by the final episode that she was an ideal choice over Luna because of her ability to wield the Lord of Nightmares' power, and, unlike Luna, who is affiliated with the gods,(mainly specializing in White/Holy power), Lina has affiliation with neither side, and could easily combine Black and Holy magic to create the magical power needed to defeat Dugradigdu.

For many years, fans thought that this meant that Hajime Kanzaka's sci-fi series Lost Universe and Slayers were part of the same multiverse, though Word Of God was that he merely chose to reuse the names.

Interestingly the fact she was originally brunette has not been completely forgotten by merchandise makers, as a few illustrations and merchandise that were made as recent as 2018 have depicted brunette Lina. Amelia and Xellos both have black hair in the novels which are stylized purple, while both of their hair is straight-up purple in the anime. Also, Amelia's tunic is light yellow in the novels and white in both the anime and video games, and the Slayers Royal games, oddly enough, give her purple leggings in lieu of her pants. Finally, Zelgadis' skin in the older books is a greenish color, his hair is silver, and his eyes are purple. In the anime, his eyes and skin are blue and his hair is purple. Art Evolution in the novels now has his novel design more resemble his anime design. His one unique trait in the novels, however, is a bridge of stone stuck between his left eyelids.

Then he opens his eyes. At this point, something absolutely horrible happens. To put things into perspective, the least horrible thing he's done with his eyes open is gleefully torture someone with the intent to kill him. The shift in personality between his 'casual' and serious moods is about as extreme as can be.

By contrast, Luke and Milina, Lina and Gourry's two other party members from the second arc, only appear outside the novels in the Hourglass of Falces manga, where they are part of a six-man band instead. Xellos only appears in five of the novels (cameoing in the last one), so technically he could be this, especially considering his role and given relationship with Filia in TRY. And because of his role in the fourth and fifth seasons, Rezo also qualifies.

He wants to force her to use Giga Slave because it can destroy the world, which he thinks is the purpose of the Mazoku race. To do this he sets her against Chaos Dragon Gaav, who has rebelled against the Mazoku race. If Lina uses the Giga Slave, he wins. If she uses some other spell, such as the Ragna Blade, he can goad her himself. If Gaav survives the attack, then he finishes off Gaav. Since he's the Hellmaster, he can control her death to prevent her from dying until then. All outcomes work for him. Lina does eventually cast the Giga Slave and summons the Lord of Nightmares, but the latter "politely refuses" to cooperate with Hellmaster's plan.

Slayers / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Slayers / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One of Lina's go-to spells is "Dio Brando" translated variously as "Dil Brand" (Central Park media) or "Explosion Array" (AD Vision), but it is a shout out to a Big Bad in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Amelia is at least in part a parody of Sailor Moon, and Gourry's disguise in the first season's cross dressing episode has Usagi's distinctive hair style and when he crossdresses again in NEXT, his hairstyle resembles that of Minako's. Furthermore, an episode of NEXT has Amelia and Lina dressing up in what look like Sailor Senshi fuku for a humiliating musical number. Furthermore, most of Zel's initial appearances have him looking like Tuxedo Kamen's OTHER identity crisis, Moonlight Knight. The magic doctor Lina goes to when her powers are sealed looks exactly like a slightly older Chibiusa, right down to the pink Odango hair. The aforementioned episode of NEXT also has a pair of Single-Minded Twins who look exactly like Shampoo from Ranma ½. In episode 16 of NEXT, when Xellos explains what "brass rackets" are, there's a background with two characters looking suspiciously like Hiromi Oka and Reika Ryuzaki; Martina's tennis coach in that episode also somewhat resembles Jin Munakata. There's episode 18 of TRY where Amelia visits the Village of Justice becomes either a Power Ranger or a member of G-Force. Visually, though, they resemble the Ronin Warriors. The whole story of TRY is that beings from the "Overworld" (one of the other worlds seen in Lina's explanation of the War of the Monster's Fall) come to the Slayers world to try and destroy the Big Bad; a fusion of their Arch God (Night Dragon Vorfeed) and Arch Lord (Dark Star Dugradigdu). For many years, fans thought that this meant that Hajime Kanzaka's sci-fi series Lost Universe and Slayers were part of the same multiverse, though Word Of God was that he merely chose to reuse the names. This is not helped by the fact that the Translation Notes for the anime of the former do explicitly say that the two animes are part of the same multiverse. Episode 3 of TRY has Jawas. Right down to an unintelligible Conlang. In the English dub of the first movie, the Demon Joyrock introduces himself as "Joyrock, Michigan J." (for reference, it strongly resembles a frog). Later, as Lina unleashes the Dragon Slave on him he says "Sufferin' Succotash" (complete with lisp) as he realises just what he was about to get hit with. In episode 14 of the original anime series, Lina and Gourry are lured by the smell of freshly cooked chicken prepared by a bounty hunter whose disguise looked an awful lot like◊ a certain fast-food mascot... Pokota is apparently a Pokémon parody, but he looks more like a Digimon (namely Terriermon). In Evolution-R, the relationship between Amelia and Nama/Naga brings to mind Fullmetal Alchemist. Sherra, the second general of Dynast Grausherra, in the Slayers novels looks like Ranma's female form, from Ranma ½, this probably isn't a coincidence since Rui Araizumi also drew Ranma Hentai Doujinshi. One two-episode arc in TRY has a virtually identical plot to the Silly Symphony "Music Land," even to the point of musical Theme Naming for the two feuding kingdoms.

Slayers / int_cc6f4612	comment	Beyond the Impossible: The magic of the series is theurgic magic (meaning it draws from faith in Gods or Demons). Martina uses a curse, on raw willpower, drawing from the energy of a spirit that doesn't exist, since she made it up. Granted, it isn't nearly as impressive as the magic others but that she can use this at all, even for minor curses or dowsing, is insane. For the long explaination, click the note note Curses are a form of Black Magic (drawing from the Demons/Monsters, per Word Of God and in several forms of media), so technically, Martina is drawing power from the Mazoku and thinks that it's from the spirit she made up. However, considering her magic is like "any random Mazoku that will listen to me" and it goes off without a hitch. Not even knowing who you're calling upon, and still managing a spell is still impressive.

Ends up being subverted however, since he doesn't actually die thanks to Pokota—but it is still his ability to resist Zanaffar and remain himself that gives Lina the distraction she needs to win, and later allows him to have his life spared.

Used afterwards, as in 5 TV seasons, and a dozen movies and OVAs, it hasn't come up again, ever. The first novel has a scene where the conversation is basically the same, but we get to see Lina fuming at him because she thinks it's a sign that he's cannier than he lets on, and is actively mocking her. In a later scene a villain catches on, and Lina in the narration rages, "Do I have a big sign on my forehead that says, 'I'm on my period. Let's discuss'?!" In the second volume of Super Explosive Demon Story Slayers, the scene goes exactly as in the anime. The subject is mentioned briefly in the third volume, where Zelgadis, after capturing Lina, wonders why her spells were so weak... "Oh, I know! You're in THESE days!"

In the former, Gourry chases Lina, possessed by the Lord of Nightmares, into a dimension beyond his own and begs for Lina back, the two kissing and then being sent back to their world. When they wake up, neither of them seems to remember in the slightest what happened. In the latter, after being placed under the Octopese Curse, Gourry tells Lina "I love you" at several points — but Octopese is basically saying lots of random words that have an entirely different meaning for octopi ("flatchested", for example, is an expression of great dismay). When things clear up, Lina asks Gourry what "I love you" means in Octopese. "I'm broke, so you'll have to pay for the hotel." This revelation causes Lina to explode, angrily chase Gourry across the beach and beat him senseless. Filia and Xellos are positively rife with this, mostly in the form of Belligerent Sexual Tension topped with the fact that they're from the god and demon races respectively. They've actually become one of the most popular One True Pairings in the show. Zelgadis and Amelia have a good deal of chemistry and moments together, especially in NEXT. In the final credits of TRY, it is left ambiguous whether they confessed anything to each other, as Zelgadis is seen with a reminder of Amelia: one of her characteristic bracelets. Meanwhile, she is shown looking through the window and thinking, clearly not devoted to her duties. Though most of the teasing is near - gone by Revolution (leaving aside the fact that Zelgadis has become Amelia´s bodyguard and that they spend a lot of time together), the manga counterpart of Evolution - R has some of the most important evidence of feelings for this ship. Xellos is well known for frequently hitting on Lina throughout anime and manga. In novels she even asked him if he was hitting on her, though he didn't answer it. His song "Butbutbut" also has suggestive lyrics about somebody who is a gambler, loves delicious food and whose life is always adventurous.

Slayers / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: It's obvious there would be some of this, considering that the first anime season aired in 1995 and the most recent came out in 2009, but even watching the third season (TRY) and going back to the first is pretty jarring. Gourry and Lina's character designs in particular have changed quite a bit over the years, to the point that Lina's hair has even changed color from reddish-brown to bright red over time. This also occurs in the original novels' artwork. Older drawings of the characters and the first five novels or so are much more detailed in regards to the characters' clothing and the backgrounds, and the eyes and faces of the females are very rounded. Later novels and art overall are less detailed, the eyes (such as Lina's, Gourry's, and Amelia's) are sharper, and faces are a bit more deformed. Gourry in particular looks much, much different in the early years of the franchise, and in the final novel he almost looks like a different person. It's also worth nothing that, when the covers of the novels were re-drawn, Rui Araizumi drew Zelgadis a bit more in the likeness of his anime design, even making his skin blue (originally in the novels, his skin is greenish). And the art of the ''Super Explosive Demon Story'' manga starts off similar to the novels (highly detailed, fluid poses, rounded figures) and deteriorates overtime (stiff poses, no conservation of detail, etc.).

Slayers / int_e52a0cac	comment	He Who Must Not Be Seen: Luna Inverse and the remaining three Mazoku lords — Zelas Metallium, Deep Sea Dolphin, and Grausherra — have yet to appear in the anime. Zelas and Dolphin appear in person in the novels, but there's yet to be any decent graphical depiction of Dynast Grausherra; however, Grausherra did play a major role in the second arc of the novels. Zelas Metallium's ass has had a couple of cameos in the series, however, and her beast form (an armored, anthropomorphic wolf with wings) appears in one of the games for the Super Famicom. Dolphin's beast form is still unknown. And Luna gets cameos in a couple of the opening songs and Eye Catches. It's even Lampshaded in the opening of TRY, when she has a little arrow saying "Sorry! opening only" pointing at her. On the gods' side of things, between Ciefeed's four guardians, Earthlord Rangort has made absolutely no appearances in any part of the franchise. Aqualord Ragradia and Firelord Vrabrazard have been mentioned in passing and share importance in the anime and novels (Ragradia made the Claire Bible, and Filia served Vrabrazard), but otherwise do not appear, and Airlord Valwin only appears in the Knight of the Aqualord manga. It is implied (if not flat-out stated) that "Auntie Aqua" is actually Aqualord Ragardia, or at least what's left of the god. Therefore being the only one of the gods that makes any sort of actual "appearance" in the anime.

Slayers / int_e5e6640b	comment	Flanderization: Most of the characters have suffered from a little of it over the years: Lina's vindictiveness and temper have been played up to the point that she's on a hair trigger (although it has to be granted that Pokota really does push all the wrong buttons with her) whereas in the first ever episode a comment about her bust only elicited a scowl. Nowadays, Gourry tends to act like such an Idiot Savant that you wonder how on earth he puts his armor on in the morning or remembers who Lina is (as opposed to the fairly competent, if rather tactless and sometimes absent-minded, swordsman we see in the first episode) - and if it's at all possible the English dubs take it even further. This is finally somewhat reversed come Evolution-R, where he appears to have been given back shades of his former competency. Amelia was flanderized from the novels to the anime in general; her justice-loving ways were more of a quirk in the novels, but in the anime, they became a defining trait. By the end of Revolution, her flaunting is toned down. Xellos comes off as much more brutal and unnerving in the novels. In the anime, his lighthearted trickster personality is played up and Lina finds him more annoying than anything.

It would've worked, had it not been for the fact that both seasons played this painfully straight in the first place - absolutely no prior establishment of what had happened before both seasons - and the end result was most of the viewers being those who had seen the first three seasons from eleven years back. Along with the issue with Zanaffar, there is also the fact that why Lina and Gourry are seeking a new sword (and the importance of the Sword of Light), and they also don't mention directly that Zelgadis and Rezo are related by blood, getting rid of some of the depth that Zelgadis' emotional turmoil against Rezo. This is also a massive problem with the Slayers Special/Smash novels. There are over fifty of those versus the fifteen "main" novels. Mind you, those fifty are supposed to serve as a prequel to the fifteen, and they're still going, whereas the last of the main books came out in 2000. It also doesn't help that both series began around the same time, in the early 90's.

Slayers / int_fc4f5f19	comment	Go-Karting with Bowser: At least once a season Lina is usually forced into participating in some tedious competition either with or against someone who's spent much of the season trying to kill her. Also, Lina goes on whole adventures with Xellos, who could, at any moment, turn around and kill her without a word... And she's okay with that.

The problem is of course, that first everyone and everything has to be destroyed...

Slayers / int_fedd4e87	comment	Fork Fencing: The Trope Namer. The first episode of NEXT has Gourry and Lina literally fork-fencing at super speed over the last bits of food on the table. Neither of them end up getting it, as a fight breaks out in the tavern and their table is knocked over. Lina's response? Well... This is justified two-fold: First, both of them are notorious Big Eaters. Second, the party has a tradition where the person who eats the least has to pick up the tab.
